General Description.

The lettera indicates the leather core, which may be'round, square, or many-sided, as desired.

Around it is woven a textile covering, b.y The leather is distasteful to the dainty moth, and he will on no account touch it, thus making the cord a safe one for use in all places and for all purposes where it may be exposed to the attacks of moths and their congenus.
